Session #6 - The Grass is Greener...

We went back to rest before heading to the White Fig Inn. It's now 17 Roggi.
 
The White Fig Inn is very popular at the moment. It serves a dwarven/elven fusion cuisine. We took a table and ordered some food. Then we just hung out and waited to see if any "unsavory types" showed up. Nathaniel had Mr. Green wait outside to signal if he saw anything. Hammond chatted up the head chef (Renee) to ask whether he's noticed any trouble / unsavory types. He sweet talks his way into the chef's confidence. Apparently, he took a loan from a loan shark, and now is having trouble with the extra conditions that were attached. They're using the restaurant as a front for some nefarious activities. Renee hints that we want to check out the wine cellar, so we do.
 
There are a bunch of wine barrels. Some of them are concealing a door in the floor. We decided to go see what was down there. It looks like the Dark Hand has built a hideout down here. There are a couple guys playing cards. They recognized me (even though I didn't recognize them) and attacked us. We took quick care of them. I'm getting very tired of people who keep trying to kill me. I took down two of them myself. There's a pretty substantial complex down here. We started wandering around. We found a bookkeeping room, and another guy attacked us. Then three more showed up. They had us surrounded and trapped. One of them was Grass! He yelled out "Where's Fidget?" and shot Gan. We exchanged a few words, and he believed me that I didn't rat out the Pickers. He said that he had told people not to hurt me, but they didn't listen. Then he revealed that the big boss was in the room behind him. But the big boss color sprayed Grass and blinded him. Grass seems to think I want to defeat the big boss even though I just want them to stop trying to kill me. We had to finish off the thugs in our faces before we could do anything else.
 
The boss escaped into the sewers while we were finishing off the thugs. I asked Grass whether he thought the guy would leave me alone. Grass asked "Which guy?" I replied "The big boss you said was in the room." Grass said, "Raylon Davis?" I said, "I don't know who that is. They didn't tell me secrets like that." Grass said that Raylon has run out of friends and won't be a problem anymore.
 
We poke around and find a hat of disguise, mesmerizing opal, and a lesser comprehension elixir in Raylon's room. We found some money in the accounting area 110gp 55sp 23cp. We also found a storeroom. Grass said we wouldn't want any of that stuff. He offered me a key when I asked why. All the crates are labeled with the various expeditious companies. Nathaniel found a pair of doubling rings in the sleeping quarters.
 
We took the Primrose boxes back to Primrose. He gave us a bit of a reward (5gp each). He wants us to recover the Bellweather stuff, too. He thinks that the Bellweather company is behind the gang. He seems a little paranoid about it.
 
We went back to tell Chef Renee that we had taken care of the "rat problem" in his "wine cellar." He was quite grateful. He's going to tell the police about the hideout. We get free food whenever we want!
 
Grass is going to try to find the rest of the Pickers. I guess he's going to start his own little gang.
 
We go back to rest. We leveled up!
